overview for melchus

The aspect of software engineering makes sense per your definition. That brings the question of who a software developer is but... Coding and computer programming are entirely different though interrelated. One is an integral part of the other with the other being the bigger picture

That brings the question to mind, what's the difference between coding, computer programming or programming and software engineering? Is there actually a difference at all?

Uh, did Lemmy.world get hacked? in c/support

That's the ideal situation. It's been restored and I'm yet to see anything related to 'login credentials being compromised' or an advice to change them but as you said, it's not a bad idea. Safety first

It was circumvented hours prior to the attack. I tried activating but there's no feedback

Encountered that too. Would it be recommended to change passwords and logins though?

I need a little help here. I run into an unexpected occurrence, one that leaves me still wondering how it came about. I logged into my Lemmy account to disable 2FA because from my engagements, it's not functional (if it is, kindly help me). I was required to provide a token when I couldn't even obtain the codes then I run into the most bizarre thing ever...what looks like porn sites. I'm confused, perplexed to say the least. Is there something I'm not doing right? How did this come to be plus I'm making use of the Brave browser which does a fair job at keeping ads at bay. I don't think they are ads. Am I the only one that has encountered this and if no, what's how did you go about handling it? Thanks!

I'm impressed with the feedback I'm getting. I didn't expect my post to get much response or engagement (traction if you are from Mastodon). Grateful for the help and warm welcome!

There's hope for the Fediverse; Rome wasn't built in a day

Hello, compatriots! I'm new here (joined a few hours ago) I'm more than glad to become a part of what is referred to as the 'new face of Reddit'. What brought about my joining was my search into the Fediverse after Threads come out with the promise of being a part in future iterations of the application. With the take over of Twitter which left many disgruntled leading to the masses at Mastodon (of which I'm one) and Threads coming up strong just at the nick of posing a stern, I can only but imagine what the future holds Decentralisation and Web 3.0 seems to be the direction we are steadily heading though its development has taken a dip over the years. I'm glad to be a part of this and would love to see what becomes of the new developments and the Fediverse!

Long live the Fediverse, Long live Lemmy!
